State 212-840-3800) be that the union leader", neady an of whom, unlike Koch's stdff, are wily veterans of the negotiating process, would never be able to calculate the cost of the four-per-cent raises for themselves. PhiJip Toià, Koch's deputy mayor for financial management, said that Goldin's action had been "a ter- rible mistake," and the Conlptt oner was accused of having raised doubts about the city numbers that could scut- tle the whole financial plan. City Council President Cctro] Bel1anlY, the third of the three cin wide elected offi- cials (along wIth thL mayor and the comptroller), has said that Koch's con- tinued reliance on further federal and state funds for his four-year plan is "unrealistic." And, down in ,^' ashing- ton, William Proxmire, the chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Conlnlittee, has an- nounced that he wdl hold new hear- ings next month at which Koch and others will be once again on the grid- dle, attempting to talk Proxmire out of his undisguised conviction that the fed- eral loan progralll for N ew York was a lllistake from the start. On January 15th, Koch presented a revised version of his four-year finan- cial plan, projecting a loss of about six thousand jobs, ]arge]y by attrition. T f the state and federal governments do not 1ive up to their cOlllmitments, he announced, the lavoffs wilJ be much worse, and New Yorkers will know w hOlll to blallle. Carey has said only that the state "will do its share." \Vhen city officials are reminded that the President couldn't provide a hundred Inillion dollars in new federal aid with- out the help of Congress, they often cite Carter's 1 976 campaign promise that the federal governlllent would (at SOllle future date) relieve local govern- lllents of the costs of welfare. How- ever, when Koch was retninded at the end of his first year in office that he had not fulfilled nUlllerous call1paign- year commitlllents of his own, he said, in the frank and fervid style that most New Yorkers have so far found so win- ning, "Oh, who could live up to a11 those promises!" -ANDY LOGAN . l\1ichael A.
